Saldo red is my favorite go-to California wine, so I was excited to see the line has expanded into whites. Medium body at 11.5% abv, but drinks a little heavier. Nice acidity but cloying on the finish upon opening. I’ll give it more time.

Update after after 2 more bottles over time: lower rating. It doesn’t hold up or compare to a true French Chenin Blanc, unfortunately.
